i am configuring single sign on services on sharepoint portal server 2003. I am logged as domain administrative account and this account is part of STS_WPG and SPS_WPG group. Sharepoint portal 2003 and SQL Server 2000.on single sign on services i have assigned domain account to start services.when i try to configure single sign on from sharepoint central adminsitration i am getting following error message.An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)kindly help me out how to fix this error and configure single sign on |

Which version of sql do you really use? For sql2k5, ensure sql server browser service is running on sql server. |

That's program name. Service name should something like 'sql server (mssqlserver)'. |

It's sql2k named instance. Double check sharepoint configuration to ensure it goes to correct sql server. |
